He produces music that could be loosely described as cinematic electronica, but his roots are in dubstep, garage and house.[4] Phaeleh himself describes his music as "electronic bass music" with a heavy emphasis on melody and emotional content.[5] His main inspirations are Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, LTJ Bukem, Global Communication and Brian Eno.[6] His compositions are a fusion of live instrumentation and electronic production.
